Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-25]


Modification of Legal Description of the Class D Airspace; 
Cincinnati, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action modifies the legal description of the Class D 
airspace at Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field, OH. The legal 
description for this airspace includes a reference to excluding that 
airspace within the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, 
KY, Class C airspace area. This Class C airspace designation is being 
revoked, and effective at 0901 UTC, July 15, 1999, a Class B airspace 
area for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport will be 
established (Airspace Docket No. 93-AWA-5, final rule published in the 
Federal Register on November 30, 1998, 63 FR 65972, effective date 
delayed on December 14, 1998, 63 FR 68675, and confirmation of 
effective date on April 12, 1999, 64 FR 17934). The reference to Class 
C airspace in the legal description for the Class D airspace at 
Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field is incorrect, and this action 
changes that reference to Class B airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Tuesday, May 4, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 
to modify the legal description of the Class D airspace at Cincinnati, 
OH (64 FR

[[Page 38303]]

23805). The proposal was to correct the legal description of the 
existing controlled airspace to reflect the correct reference to the 
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, KY, Class C 
airspace area.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class D airspace 
designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9F dated 
September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the legal description of 
the Class D airspace at Cincinnati, OH, by changing the reference to 
the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, KY, Class C 
airspace area to Class B. The area will be depicted on appropriate 
aeronautical charts.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this regulation--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter 
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
